WELCOME!
My name is Janel Peterson. I am attending the University of North Carolina at Wilmington, majoring in English with teacher licensure and minoring in creative writing. I knew I wanted to be an English teacher when I felt the rewards of helping my peers understand the material we were learning in my high school English classes. In my spare time, I am President of the honor fraternity Phi Sigma Pi, a member of Sigma Tau Delta International English Honor Society, and I mentor at WIRE, a drop-out prevention center in downtown Wilmington, NC. I love to read, watch the Food Network and Travel Channel, and volunteer whenever possible. My goal as an educator is to prepare students to be conscious, articulate contributors to society.
